Max Starkes was on our Line when he gave up over 200 sacks in less then 4 years. I hardly call that All World! Max had a ton of issues as well. He was ripped apart by speed rushers. Saw Dwight Freeny get 5 sacks on us in ONE game...All coming against Starkes. So please stop acting like he all Dat. As for Sanders, he will get his chance. But he is not a CLEAR proven # 2 WR. Dude has done next to nothing in 3 years.

Ok... you've got me curious.. Which steeler offensive lineman/men were better than starks the last two years?

He's not disagreeing with you that Starks was the best. He's saying that's not saying much based on the line-men we've had (as in he was the best of a bad lot). Whether you you agree or disagree with that is the question.

Max may have been our best OL the past several years, but on our Line that is not saying much. And Max had alot of other Issues. He was a great Road grader of a Blocker, and a AVERAGE pass protector at best. In fact, once he gets used to it, I KNOW Adams will be a better Pass protector at LT then Starkes ever was.

For the record - the Steelers will miss Starks this year unless Adams and Gilbert make dramatic 180s from the play in the first 2 preseason games. Supposedly they were worried Max was too slow to handle the new zone blocking schemes. Kind of hilarious when frozen molasses has moved faster than those 2 on some of their blocking attempts.

Adams, yes. Gilbert doing a 180 and being a decent OL is as likely as Lindsey Lohan becoming The National spokesperson
for sobriety!!

Well I guess I should find out who the chick is on mike and molly... lol. might help me understand the comparison a little better. Max was a good run blocker... and, certainly "Average" in pass protection is a hell of alot better than what we have right now.
